TomTom’s Danger and Risk Zone Warnings service is configured specifically for travel on roadways throughout France.
Since January 3, 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the locations in France of fixed and mobile speed cameras.
In compliance with this law, your TomTom GO Expert will warn you when you are approaching danger zones and risk zones (as opposed to speed camera locations).
NOTE: danger zones are designated, permanent locations. Risk zones are reported by motorists and are classified as “temporary” danger zones.
Since danger zones and risk zones may contain one (1) or more speed cameras and driving hazards, the danger zone icon will be displayed as you approach either zone. The minimum length of these zones is 300m [0.19 miles] for roads in urban areas, 2000m [1.24 miles] for secondary roads and 4000m [2.49 miles] for motorways.
+ Speed camera locations are now unavailable and have been replaced by a danger zone icon that will be displayed as you approach designated zones
+ The length of the zone depends on the road type and can be 300m, 2000m or 4000m
+ More than one (1) speed camera may be located within each danger zone
+ If speed camera locations are close together within a single danger zone, your danger zone warnings may merge and result in the length of the upcoming danger zone being extended. Please note that outside France, you will receive alerts about speed camera locations. Inside France, you will receive warnings about danger zones and risk zones.
